Summary: Simplify handling of position in the parser
Key: CALCITE-1788
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CALCITE-1788
Project: Calcite
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Julian Hyde
Assignee: Julian Hyde
Simplify handling of position in the parser by adding a class Span that keeps
track of the tokens that have contributed to the current non-terminal.
Some patterns:
* {{final Span s;}} declaration of a Span at the top of a production
* {{s = span();}} initializes {{s}} to a Span that includes the token we just
saw; very often occurs immediately after the first token in the production
* {{s.end(this);}} adds the most recent token to span {{s}} and evaluates to a
{{SqlParserPosition}} that spans from beginning to end; commonly used when
making a call to a function
* {{s.add(node);}} adds a SqlNode's parser position to a span
* {{s.addAll(nodeList);}} adds several SqlNodes' parser positions to a span
* {{s = Span.of();}} initializes s to an empty Span, not even including the
most recent token; rarely used
